Injured in Tennessee.

injured IN tennessee
JACKSON, Tenn, Sept. 27-One of the
worst wrecks that ever occurred on the Mis-
sissipi and Ohio railroad occurred about two
miles south of this place this morning. An en-
tire passenger train, except the engine, was
hurled from trestling while running forty
five miles an hour, and over thirty persons
were injured, though, by what seems almost
miracle, none were killed. The
coaches were thrown forty feet from
the track and some were turned completely
over. The scene was almost understandable.
Women and children were screaming for
help and release from closed cars. All Were,
however, rescued and medical attention
given.

COLUMBUS, GA, Sept. 27.-The steamer
Fannie Fearn reached this city from Apa-
lachicola this morning and brought the in
formation that when off a point not far
from the hospital, just below the city, the
body of a dead negro woman was seen
lodged against the river jetties The dis
covery was reported to Coroner Griffin, who
Immediately proceeded to the spot and had
the body brought to the court house,
where an inquest was held. The
woman is unknown TO anyone who has yet
viewed the remains, and she was most prob
ably stranger in this section. She has
evidently been dead several days. An in
vestigation has been made and there is no
evidence to show whether she was murder
ed or accidentally drowned, but the general
impression is that she was murdered, as her
face was badly disfigured.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The fruits OF
honest, business-like government are
strikingly exhibited in the administration OF
the revenue laws, which are the same under
Cleveland that were in operation under
Arthur 1t is natural that revenues should
increase to some extent because OF the
steady growth of the business of the coun-
try, but the invariable rule heretofore has
been Tor the expenditures, or costs OF col
lection, to Increase all the time, whether the
revenues increased or not. In both the
revenues from imports and internal taxes,
there has been q steady and decided increase
of revenue and as steady and decided de-
crease of the cost of collection under the
present administration
The figures are taken from the offlclal
records of the Treasury Department, and
are thoroughly reliable The following are
the receipts from customs for the nscai
years ending June 80, 1885, 1886 and 1857;
the year ending June 30, 1885, being the
last year OF the Arthur administration:

Year ending June 30, 1886 ....... g., ,6l3 90
Year ending June 80, 1887 .......... o,GO,O71 40
The cost of collection the last year OF
Arthur's administration was 3.17 per cent;
the cost in 1856 was $50 per cent, and the
cost in 1887 was 3. 10 per cent. The same re-
suits are shown in the receipts from internal
revenue and expenditures, as follows:
INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Year ending June 80, 1895 S112, 49S, RS 81
Year ending June 80, 1896 ....... 116,S05, 1886 4S

Year ending June 30, 1885 ........ 1890, 4S5 d

1t is these substantial and benefcent re-
suits of administering the government on
business principles, instead of wasting the
taxes of the people in party plumber, which
make Cleveland strong with the people and
compel politicians who are ever on the hunt
for spoils to support the policy of the Presi-
dent even against their own inclinations.
The one inflexible rule now in force in all
public departments is that every official
must perform his duty with the same fidel-
ity that would be demanded in any business
employment, and that is the kind of gov.

parties want,

Modest Demand to be Made by the New
York Competitors.

lCopw;gh, 1857. BY he California Associated Press.l
NEW YORK, September 5th.-The Tribune says
that the book publishing and job printing trade
received notice few days ago from the com
positors in Typographical Union No that the
following charges would be made, and that
nothing short of this ultimatum would be ac-
cepted. All cuts and blank pages and in fact
everything from the first TO the last cover of a
book is to be paid for by the publisher to the
compositors weeks work shall consist of 81
hours Compositors will work hours on Satur-
day, but must receive full days pay for it.
The foremen will be permitted to discharge men
on Friday.
Where composition IS done by the week s1S Is
to be the Union scale of wages, and when pie &C.
paid, and no office will be allowed tC adopt
both systems.
The proprietor must decide either to make #
wage Office or piece office, All standing
matter is to be paid for each assertion to com
positors. Two prices must be paid for all work
done on Saturday after fcSr hours work has
been done. One boy may be retained for every
ten men employed in tho Office This must in
clude the opy-holders, messengers and boys
generally employed in the printing Office.
The feeling of the publishers is that if the
demands are strictly adhered to, it will cause
such an increase IN the cost of composition that
great deal of work will be taken out of the
city to places where 1t can be done more cheaply
A meeting ofthe union was held yesterday Ia
consider the question of making general de.
mand for al advance in all branches of the
trade. No positive action was taken in regard
to the proposed demand for work during day,
| light.
This was deferred for final action at the
meeting called for next Sunday. There was ar
extremely spirited discussion, however as tC
| the advisability of making general demand fol
an increase i'll morning newspaper work. The
| majority and minority reports of the committee
appointed to investigate the matter led to a long
| debate, which ended in advancing the rate O
| composition on morning newspaper The rate
determined on is 80 cents per thousand ems for
| DAVIS work of six hours of composition and al
work after that hour is to be paid at the rate o
| s. per thousand ems
